If you want to be a contractor in a business role, you'd need to be a business consultant, and on the whole I think you'd working through a business consultancy, or firm of accountants. Short term managers would be hired from these types of companies. If you want to freelance then the best route is in a technical route. Otherwise if I were you I'd try and get in one of the big accountancy companies.

Hi SueEllen, where could I get a list of reputable agents? Also, can you recommend me a job site you mentioned? I suppose those may not be posted here, so could you send me a message?

Thanks.

Contracting career as a Product Manager

Hey all,

Permy Product Manager here from London, wanting to go contracting/consulting so I can get some varied work exp, get paid more and take some off time to time to study (part time degree) from time to time.

I was wandering whether my skillset of Product Management is suitable. I searched on the various job sites and didnt find any where as near contract roles as the more technical disciplines...

Any thoughts?
